I slutet av 2014 hade 38 miljoner människor runt om i världen flytt sina hem till följd av krig, konflikt och våld. Att rädda liv och minska lidandet för dessa flyktingar är syftet med humanitärlogistik. Beredskap en nyckelroll i humanitära organisationer eftersom det är ett verktyg för att minska det negativa genomslaget av framtida händelser. En vanlig beredskapsåtgärd är att så kallad för-positAt the end of 2014, 38 million people around the world had fled their homes due to man-made disasters such as war, armed conflict and violence. To save the lives and alleviate the suffering of these refugees and displaced is the purpose of Humanitarian Logistics. Preparedness is of key importance in humanitarian organisations as it is a tool to reduce the impact of coming events. One common prepar

The opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa controls host innate immune and complement attack. Here we identify Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (Lpd), a 57 kDa moonlighting protein, as the first P. aeruginosa protein that binds the two human terminal pathway inhibitors vitronectin and clusterin. Both human regulators when bound to the bacterium inhibited effector function of the termina

Campylobacteriosis is a zoonotic disease in which birds have been suggested to play an important role as a reservoir. We investigated the prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni in black-headed gulls (Larus ridibundus) in southern Sweden with the aim of examining the nature of C. jejuni infection in this bird species. Birds were sampled in four sampling series each year during 1999 (n = 4

The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of a-ketoglutarate (AKG), at pH 2 or 5, combined with vitamin B-6 (AKG 2B, AKG 5B) or C (AKG 2C, AKG 5C), on the performance and haemoglobin and amino acid levels in growing rats. Eighty rats were divided into 5 treatment groups and stayed on trial for 9 d (n=16) or 18 d (n=10). No significant differences in average daily gain (ADG), average daily

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka två stärkelse-typer, waxy korn och majs stärkelse. Dessa behandlades med syra och de behandlade stärkelserna undersöktes vad avser deras reologiska egenskaper och sedan studerades om de kunde användas vid formulering av olika typer av stärkelsemikrosfärer. I denna studie skall stärkelse användas för att kapsla in jästceThe aim of this diploma work is to investigate the acid hydrolyses of two types of starch, waxy barley and maize starch to be applied for further usage, in rheology studies and formulation of starch microspheres. Modified starch has always been essential in many areas, especially in tablets, where it could be used as a disintegrant. Starch has also been investigated for manufacturing microspheres.

Xylose fermentation in yeast has been a target of research for years, yet not all the factors that may affect xylose fermentation perfomance of yeast strains are known. In this study, the mutant S. cerevisiae strain TMB 3400, which has good xylose fermentation properties, was compared with its parental strain to examine the factors behind the improved xylose utilization at protein level. The prote

Two species of the genus Choricystis (Choricystis minor and Choricystis chodatii) have been chromosomally surveyed. In addition, their ability to form symbiotic associations with the ciliate Paramecium bursaria was also investigated. Choricystis minor (clone #8931/1 from strain #8931) was isolated from a moss sample collected on Livingston Island, Maritime Antarctica. Choricystis chodatii (clone #

Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteoporos (benskörhet) är ett tillstånd som definieras av låg benmassa och ett tillstånd som ökar med stigande ålder. Sjukdomen i sig är symptomfri men ökar risken för frakturer. Frakturer i kota, axel, handled, bäcken, och höft efter 50 års ålder är ofta förknippade med osteoporos och ca 70 000 sådana frakturer inträffar årligen i Sverige. Även artros (ledsvikt) i höfPartly due to an ageing population, the number of osteoporosis-related fractures and osteoarthritis (OA)-related hip and knee arthroplasty procedures is increasing. The individual suffering and the burden on society for these conditions is immense. Genetic contribution for the variance in bone mineral density (BMD) is estimated at around 60–80%, and for OA 50%, leaving a considerable proportion to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det övergripande syftet med föreliggande studie är tudelat. För det första syftar den till att på teoretisk väg etablera en dialog mellan queerteoretisk och socialpsykologisk teoribildning om aktörer och aktörsskap med utgångspunkt i en kritisk läsning av Judith Butler och George Herbert Mead. För det andra syftar den till att på empirisk väg utveckla och fördjupa dennaIn her widely quoted and criticised Gender Trouble, Judith Butler elaborates the idea that gender needs to be understood as performative – a certain kind of “doing” within the regulative realm of a hegemonic heterosexuality that is assumed to govern intelligible bodily configurations. Drawing mainly on psychoanalytical and Foucaultian arguments, Butler dwells upon questions concerning power and su

The European Health Data Space (EHDS) marks a pivotal moment in regulating wellness applications within the European Union. This chapter examines the implications of the EHDS for user control over electronic health data processed through wellness apps, scrutinising the regulatory frameworks provided by both the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the EHDS. Despite the GDPR’s stringent re

This thesis aims to examine how the electoral system affects the behaviour of the political elites in an African context. My hypothesis is that different electoral system presents different incentives to political elites and that these incentives affect their behaviour, contributing to the formation of a specific political culture, more or less beneficial for the consolidation of democracy. The st

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a lethal condition where expansion of the vascular extracellular matrix contributes to increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Versican, a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, is known to accumulate in vascular lesions of PAH and hyaluronan and tenascin-C, binding partners of versican, are elevated in PAH. The specific distribution and localization of versica

Introduction The Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes all categories of human rights in one and the same instrument. The same approach has been followed in many subsequent human rights treaties, including, for example, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Charter). However, the two Covenants of 1966 – the Internatio

The aim of this final chapter is to assemble the key insights of the contributions in the book into a comprehensible Nordic approach towards place branding that can be distinguished from other approaches in the field. Nordic place branding is situated conceptually, empirically and epistemologically in the field by offering a manifesto for research in which the peculiarity of the Nordic, as we have

Popular Abstract in Swedish Små, trådlösa och portabla apparater utgör idag en stor del av vår uppkopplade värld. Under det senaste decenniet har dock flera teknologiska framsteg lett mot en utveckling där allt från maskiner till kläder kommunicerar med varandra. Detta brukar kallas för "sakernas internet" och uppskattas involvera 50 miljarder enheter år 2020. Genom att förse dessa enheter med småThe modern small devices of today require cheap low power radio frequency (RF) transceivers that can provide reliable connectivity at all times. In an RF transceiver, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is one of the most important parts and it is also one of the main power consumers. There are several architectures for implementing an ADC, but in the last decade, continuous-time Delta-Sigma mod
